If I had that sort of budget, and with those requirements, I'd get this:
Item|Price
AMD FX-6300 Prozessor, Boxed, Sockel AM3+|€126.68
ASRock 970 Pro3, AM3+, ATX|€65.09
LiteOn iHAS122-18 schwarz SATA|€20.24
Samsung SSD 830 64GB SATA 6GB's Basic|€59.99
WD Caviar Blue 500GB SATA 3 6Gb/s|€54.15
BitFenix Merc Alpha|€32.10
2 x 8GB G.Skill PC3-10667U CL9|€55.14
Super-Flower Amazon 80Plus 450W|€42.35
ASUS EAH7770-DC-1GD5 V2, AMD Radeon HD 7770, 1GB, PCI-Express|€115.28
Shipping|€18.99
Total|€590.01
A teeny bit over budget, but It's worth it.
CPU is built on the newer FX architecture (as opposed to the dated bullozer 8150), twice as much RAM (YT videos can take a bit to render?), a much better PSU and case, but most importantly I squeezed in an SSD.
An SSD (If you don't know) is like an extremely fast hard drive. Bootup time will be ridiculously low, think seconds! Software, games, browsers all open up instantly and makes for a very snappy system. You are of course sacrificing some HDD space, but IMHO it's worth it. The GPU is a bit weaker, but it won't change the gameplay much (If it all). Blops 2 will still run fine
.
Case, motherboard etc. are all standard but high quality parts. If you have any more questions, let me know!

Thanks! If I can get the extra cash from somewhere this is the rig I will probably go for! Unless someone comes up with something roughly the same in budget0 -

I just found a 640W PSU in an old PC I had lying about, a little overkill but I should still be able to save myself 40 quid there! I should be fine. Should being the most important word, But I will definitely be coming back if I need help0 -
